I'm lookin over the skyline of the city 
How loud, quiet nights in the mist of crime 
How next door to happiness lives sorrow 
And signals of solution in the sky 

[1] - A city of justice, a city of love 
A city of peace, for everyone of us 
We all need it, can't live without it 
Gotham City, oh, yeah 

How sleeping awake because of fear (ohh, yeah) 
How children are drowning in their tears 
How we need a place where we can go 
A land where everyone will have a hero (even me) 
[repeat 1, 1] 

Yet in the middle of stormy weather 
We won't stumble and we won't fall 
I know a place that all of us shelter 
[rpt 1...]
